Chapter 40

The ride back to his house should be what everyone excepts, Williams kept bumping on people as he exits the building. A drunk middle-aged man stumbled upon him, waiting for the worst reaction maybe like a punch in his face but Williams ignored it.

   "Count yourself lucky Old Man"

   The man look at his strong back frame, a wide smile spread across his face as he brings out a small bottle of alcohol from his pocket and drinks from it. His facial expressions could tell he has a lot going on in his mind.

   "Ho- holy fuc- craps. When I was your age" He stutters and staggers into the direction of one of the rooms in the flat "I was as hot as you and all the girls back then in high school use to wave their panties for me".

   His hands fumbles as he attempts to put the key into the keyhole. He brought up the key to his eye level, licked it, and put it back, this time it went all the way in.

    "You can use this technique some time" he yelled obviously talking to himself.

   The room he had open seems to be the one next to Melissa's own, it has a baseball bat

   He slowly and carefully placed the alcohol in his inner pocket, pick up the bat, and held it firmly in both hands.

    "Who the heck is in my house" He yells as he made his first step inside "I fucking have a bat and you know what that can do to your balls, boobs".

    Only if Williams was close, it would have been like humor to him but he was already seated in his car, breathing calmly, thinking of what to do not to mess up things.

   Nothing came out!

He punches the horn of the car, yelling as it makes noise. His hands tighten around the wheel and he held them very tight, his knuckles going white.

   Williams felt so disappointed in himself, all this while, something had been going on right under his nose but he couldn't fish it out. He was supposed to notice when Ryan began to call him to let Rosie out so often, pretending to be having sex.

    Rosie Dio Federico is a woman of her prime, she frowns against anything of the same sex. She couldn't even keep a clean relationship with other female workers much more having sex with one, an annoying one like Ryan Sanders.

   He dialed her number in his car, getting ready to unleash his anger but something caught him as soon as her always professional voices answer the phone.

    "Rosie Federico, Sir"

    "Hey, Miss Federico" he smirks "An urgent meeting just started, meet me at my open house in East Delaware, will be expecting you now if possible" he grins as she starts the car "Dress sexy".

    The Rosie he knew for seven years would find everything he had said suspicious, but to dress sexy for him, she would be more than willing to come to rock it for him.
   Occasionally, whenever she was asked to dress sexy, she has the role to play as his girlfriend so she could enter any place. But in this case, she should be prepared to meet hell.

    The road to his pen house seems rough, with serious people lurking around every corner, possibly waiting for a scapegoat to wander alone. It wasn't the kind of place he ever likes to go, only that his father got him that place for serious issues.

   When his father came to Illinois, he had so many meetings, most especially with bad people. People painted or rather soaked in tattoos, people with a lot of piercing, people that always had red eyes as immortals, people that couldn't do without sticks of cigarettes in their lips.

    Surprisingly, he also held meetings with cute-looking, young harmless-looking girls, underage boys you would never believe they are already into the cruel world.

   His father use to tell you that he is helping them eat but he never believes. At times, whenever they piss him up, he never sees them again.

     Like the brightest star shine above others in the sky at night, his pen house looks different. The gate wasn't expensive but the building was too big for such a gate. The body is made of tinted bulletproof glass, he wonders if his father was expecting a war anytime soon.

    " I am here, Sir"

   Rosie announced her presence after three minutes of staring at Williams back. His suit jacket was on the table and his sleeves were rolled to his elbows, revealing half of his arm tattoo. His hands were crossed behind him, his long legs straight and strong look.

    For the hundredth time, Rosie notice how tall, huge, admirable, sexy, and handsome he had always been. At times, she goes back to check his record to if he is really younger or was just a figure to confuse the Internet.

    Moreover, they have a very handsome father, that even when sick and has few months to live, still looks so handsome.
Cuteness is in their DNA, Michael is also a living testimony.

   "You remember your place in my family, Ms. Frederick" He decided to go straight to the point, he paused for a while so the intro could sink "Remember what you are to me".

   "I do, Sir" her voice wasn't shaky like it was supposed to be, she seems strong and fearless. That was why Mr. Hughes employed her to be his favorite soft son's bodyguard.

   It took Williams roughly four years to get used to been harsh and hit people, especially when Michael came into his life more and got Into the same school with him, just to bring him pain.

    "Remember the last time I was going to Melissa's house and you weren't going to follow me because you were not happy?".

   Rosie frowned, she doesn't want to even talk about the redhead, but she have no choice but to.
   "Yes".

  " How did you know Karen was not at home that evening?" He veers around to face her for the first time since she entered.

  "I just know"

  "Don't push me, Rosie!" He said through teeth "Do not make me regret it".

   He walks slowly to her, giving her enough time to buy lies from the devil. But yet, in reaching her, she said nothing, just staring into the space, shaking slightly.

   " ROSIE!!!"

He yelled, causing her to flinch, she turns back where he stands to look at his face, too bad, no time to lie.

    "I am stalking her"

  "Or you were working with Karen" Williams suggested, without permission, he grabbed her by the hair and threw her to the floor "Do not make me hurt you, Rosie".

   His huge hands were shaking, same as Rosie, who was shaking. She look surprised, in all her stay with Williams, he had never handle like that, highest he would hold her cheeks tight for some minutes.

    She sprints to her feet as Williams walks towards her, faster than ever seen.

    "WHAT. WHERE. YOU. DOING, ROSIE?"

  Slowly, he picked each word, to make sure Rosie had no excuse of not hearing well.

  "You know I don't like to repeat myself!"

  He slapped her hard across her right chin with the back of his right hand, she gave a piercing scream, the kind of scream that would make a horror movies director proud.

    He smirked as she strived to get to her feet quickly, her beautiful stormy eyes show nothing but fear and surprise.

   Rosie had never been hit by Williams, not even when she was once his mentor in self-defense skills. Who would know his soft pale hands would hurt this much?

   Her eyes and chin burn but she made an effort not to touch it, she wouldn't want to make Williams feel happy to see her weak or cry.

    "You hacked my camera or you are working with Kia?"

    "I poisoned his food and download the video from the computer" She admitted without drama "I had an expert edit my image out"

     "That's nice" Williams smirks, he turns away from her, heading to the door.

    "What's going to happen next?" She asked confused "Are you just leaving?"

    "I know you are not blind to see that I'm leaving" he stopped but didn't look back, Pure sarcasm traced back to her questions "If I look at you one more time I might be seeking a way to dispose of your dead body In the next few jiffies"

     Rosie went mute, she heard Williams mutter something in Spanish but didn't care to pay attention to it, it should obviously be a curse word.

    "I love you, Williams" She sniffed.

   Williams startled, he never expected her to cry, the Rosie he know never cries in front of him or any other person.

    "I fucking love you, and there is nothing we can do about" She walks to him in an attempt to touch his face.

   "I won't tell my father, but things have to go well" Williams smirked as he pushed her back "You are stuck with me, and you will correct what you have done".
